Candidal balanitis can cause symptoms such as redness, swelling, itching, or discharge on the glans. For the treatment of this condition, if diagnosis is needed, it is first necessary to go to the hospital for a thorough examination and laboratory diagnosis of the discharge. After diagnosis, if it is confirmed to be candidal balanitis, the treatment primarily involves the targeted use of antifungal medications. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain cleanliness and hygiene and to abstain from sexual activity. In addition to treating balanitis, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet and to maintain a positive mood in daily life, which can help enhance their physical condition and speed up the recovery process.
